non-classroom activities.

Work undertaken autonomously or in a team environment using predetermined standards of quality, safety and workshop procedures involving the use of various hand tools, including but not limited to hacksaws, hammers, punches, screwdrivers, sockets, wrenches, scrapers, chisels, gouges, wood planes and files of all cross-sectional shapes and types. Applications may include hand tools used for adjusting, dismantling, assembling and finishing of items or components and the finishing, cutting, scraping of metallic and non-metallic material to size and shape. This includes simple tapping and threading. Routine maintenance tasks may include cleaning, lubricating, tightening, simple tool repairs, hand sharpening and adjustments using engineering principles, tools, equipment and procedures. This unit should not be selected if the hand tool is dedicated to a single operation or machine and if only a machine specific/customised tool is used.
